Planning a wedding hog roast in Sheepdrove
Sheepdrove is about 6 miles south-west of Wantage, in West Berkshire. Our roaster is a regular sight at weddings around Sheepdrove, from gardens to fields. We bring hog roasts to all 155 towns and villages across West Berkshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Sheepdrove to Oxford (about 20 miles away).
After a ceremony at a church like Church of St Michael and All Angels, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, where the hog roast is waiting. Nearby historic houses include Ashdown House (3.9 miles west). Historic houses and estates frequently have rules on outside caterers, so check early if that’s your venue. With the North Wessex Downs National Landscape within about 2 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Check the cooking spot with the venue.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Sheepdrove questions
Is Sheepdrove close to London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
For event organisers in Sheepdrove
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Power for lights in the evening
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
